What makes me so interested in the future of this coin are the small simple comments I hear regarding the ISK, while on coffee break at work.
I work in a workplace of 25 people, the average age here is 40-45 years, 70% female, aka the normal Icelandic housewife.
From time to time there is something in the local news about the ISK or the banks. Then at coffee break here at work, people talk about the devaluation of the ISK, inflation, the banking situation, when will the currency controls be lifted, will they ever be lifted, etc.
What usually follows these talks are questions like what can we do about the ISK? Is there nothing that can be done?
NB. these questions are being asked and debated by the housewives at work, not people that control anything in the banking system, just the normal housewife.
11% of the population her in Iceland (35.000 people) fetched the initial 31,8 AUR and about 30.000 of them are still holding. (7.000 have 1-10 AUR, 20.000 have 10-100 AUR, 3.000 have 100-1000 AUR.
https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-auroracoin-addresses.htmlNo one here really knows much about the Auroracoin project. They know its a cryptocoin, something like Bitcoin. They know it lost value soon after the initial launch, but they don't know the price of AUR. I think the people here want to see what this is all about, but there is no infrastructure here to use it. And I think they just really want a new currency, that is not controlled by politicians or bankers.
